D. Cable
Inspection
and
Lubrication
The throttle
twist
grip assembly should
be
greased when the cable
is
lubricated, since the
grip must
be
removed
to
get at the end
of
the
throttle cable. Two screws clamp the throttle
housing
to
the handlebar. Once these
two
are
removed, the end
of
the cable can
be
held
high
to
pour
in
several drops
of
lubricant.
With the throttle grip disassembled, coat the
metal surface
of
the grip assembly with a
suitable
all-purpose grease
to
cut down fric-
tion.

Damage
to
the outer housing
of
the
various cables may cause corrosion.
Often free movement will
be
obstructed.
An unsafe condition may result. Replace
such cables
as
soon
as
possible.
2.
If the inner cables do
not
operate
smoothly, lubricate
or
replace them.
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha
Chain and Cable Lube or
10W30 motor oil

Tension
Check
Inspect the drive chain with both tires
touching the ground and with rider on the
seat.
Check the tension at the position shown
in
the illustration. The normal vertical deflec-
tion
is
approximately
60
- 70 mm (2.4 - 2.8
in).
If the deflection exceeds
60
-
70
mm (2.4
- 2.8 in), adjust the chain tension.
